As with most other utility/industrial vehicles in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series, the Trashmaster has no functional purpose, with the exception of GTA Liberty City Stories; it has a side mission entitled [[Trash Dash]], where the player must drive a Trashmaster around the city, picking up garbage in a [[Taxi|Taxi mission]] style way. It is one of the slowest and least maneuverable vehicles in the series, and in GTA III, it has the lowest point value when destroyed, 10. Despite its shortfalls, the Trashmaster tends to be one of the heaviest and hardest trucks available in the game. The Trashmaster in GTA San Andreas is notably faster and features a different Engine compared to the other GTA III era games.

The Trashmaster is commonly found driving in the industrial sections of each city. The Trashmaster in GTA IV only spawns in the early hours of the morning; it also has a functioning back door, although it can only be operated during the mission [[Taking in the Trash]], where [[Niko Bellic]] must drive to waypoints, picking up diamond-filled trash bags along the way. As the vehicle is quite large, it's top speed is only 99 mph.

As the vehicle is quite large, its top speed is only 99 mph.

Throughout the games, its appearance has remained mostly the same, with the exception of the front cab, which switches around from flat cab-over design to a conventional cab in-between the games.

In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Trashmaster resembles a Mack MR. In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, and GTA Vice City Stories it has a cab similar to the Yankee, but the grille is slightly altered, GTA San Andreas's version also has different headlights, added turning signals, bears Sanitary Andreas logos.
